Life Like Violence

Composer, violinist, and NYC impresario David Handler's debut album explores the everyday tumult of the mind: fear, whim, rage, pain, fancy. As Handler puts it: “this is the sound of my psyche.” It is music that attacks itself, eating itself from the inside out. Ideas invade and gnaw at each other. They undermine, taunt, assault, exalt, and tease. Physical gestures disrupt long narratives whose melodies are obscured, revealed, decayed, destroyed, and mourned. What emerges is a broken beauty of spirit that has endured.
